Description

Runoth are bigger than rhinos and smaller than elephants, their shoulder height is around 7.5 feet (2.28 meters) tall, and their bodies are much longer because of their giant tails. Runoth stand of 4 stocky legs with elephant like feet, these legs support a large upper body that has a very large hump above the shoulders and a head that is close to the ground. and has a single pointed horn above the nose. On the back of a runoth there is a very long and muscular tail which has 4 large spikes at the end that are extremely dangerous to predators.
